Dodgers: Tomko beat out Mark Hendrickson for the fifth-starter job, coming to camp after a rigorous offseason training regimen and displaying a more compact delivery. He opened last season 5-1 as a starter.

Rockies: Lopez vanquished the Diamondbacks in his Rockies debut in his last start, buzzing through seven innings on just 76 pitches. He struck out five and didn't walk any. He forced 10 groundball outs, and the six outs in the air were hit softly.
